I went to this club for the second time on 9/2. Around 9:20 ish PM when I bumped into a drink that was on a table and it spilled, a drunk older man came up to me while I was seated and he grabbed my arm in anger. He obviously looked at me and thought I would be an easy target to victimize since I was a black woman sitting alone. He found real quickly that I was not. I got up and pushed him back hard and told him not to ever grab me. He kept telling me to shut up in response, further disrespecting me. I told him again do not ever touch me again. I told the security guard what he did to me, and he asked them what happened and because his people said I was the problem, the security guard threw me out. He took their word and dismissed what I told him they did to me. He believed them that I was the problem when I wasn’t bothering anyone. I don’t know if he has an issue with black women. The people did not even defend me or stand up for me either. They let the man grab me and had a problem with me because I accidentally bumped into a drink on the table and stood up to him. They thought I should've been violated for that. They are bad people. I talked to the manager and all of them basically told me I lied about being grabbed. There’s security cameras that show he grabbed me while I was seated and not bothering anyone. I got grabbed for accidently bumping into a drink, and those people and the security guard made ME the bad guy and did not stand up for me when he grabbed me. They called me a liar. I don't know if it is because I'm a black woman. I am not lying. Do not go to this club if you’re a single woman. If you get attacked physically by a man, the security guard and the manager will tell you you’re lying and kick you out. And some of the people who attend this place are disgusting people too to take up for men who behave in that way, so watch the people who go to this club too. This is not a safe place for a...
Read moreI was on a great vacation when I wanted to hear some live music. So I went to Frenchman Street to see what I could get into. I heard lively music coming from 3090 so went in. I ordered a drink and started a tab, such as most bars that means handing over a card they can run to began the tab. I had a couple drinks heard some good music and was ready to head back to my hotel on the other side of the quarter. I asked that my tab be closed out and this is where my nightmare began. The bar tender who appeared to be a lil tipsy appeared not to be able to locate my card! He started asking other workers to help him look and that's when I was certain the unthinkable had happened. I didn't lose my card or had it snatched from my bag, no the bar tender in his compromised state didn't verify he was giving the right person the right card and handed over my card to a stranger. It's bad enough that it happened but salt in the wound came when instead of immediately telling me what's going on they all just tried to play it off leaving me in the dark. Meanwhile the person they have my card to was making purchases on my card. After it couldn't be denied any longer he goes to inform the manager, who also wasn't taking this huge mistake as seriously as I believe she should have. I decided to try and get police involved to make a report but good luck, apparently in New Orleans if your not being attack like right now no police is coming. So I sat for another almost three hours in a bar who gave my card away waiting on police who never came! My beautiful vacation came crashing down to a disaster and I had two more days with no other card on me besides my bank card. A horrible situation that should have been handled differently in my opinion and followed up on, yet nothing on the end of police or the Bar. So please don't turn your card over ask to be cashed out after every drink, to avoid what...
Read moreI didn't have "denied entry to a bar for removing a man's hand from my unconsenting friend's cleavage" on my 2024 bingo card, but here we are.
In all seriousness, I don't write negative reviews. Mainly because one bad customer service experience rarely reflects the integrity of an institution. That said, women's safety (especially during Mardi Gras season) is another matter. If you're not training your bouncers to be vigilant when it comes to how men touch women they don't know, that's a problem on a larger scale.
In this case, a man reached into my friend's shirt as we were getting our IDs checked. (He had seen something poking out of her bra and saw it appropriate to - without warning or asking for permission - diligently work it back in.) I reacted instinctively and quickly and quietly removed his hand, stood between them, and silently waited for the bouncer to tell the man to move along. Instead, he told us that we needed to leave.
I find it difficult to imagine that he would have kicked us out if I were a man saying, "Hey, don't put your hand down my girlfriend's shirt." None of us could piece together why we were asked to leave at all, except it looked like the bouncer knew the man personally.
If I ever see a strange man's hand on my friend's chest without her permission, I'll remove it. And if it does happen again, I hope it happens in front of security with...
